Reliable Explosion Protection
Bebco EPS, the purging system based on ATEX
Purge Control Using EPS 4000
EEx p—a purging system is one of the most flexible forms of explosion protection for many applications. This type of ignition protection makes it possible to operate non-Ex-capable devices in hazardous areas of Zone 1 and Zone 2. The basic principle at work is preventing a potentially explosive atmosphere from penetrating by maintaining a constant excess pressure in an enclosed protective housing.
The need is increasing in modern chemical facilities for complex, electrical equipment in areas where flammable substances are processed. As a result, ever higher requirements are placed on the explosion protection of electrical devices. The ignition protection class EEx p pressurising offers a wide range of possible applications.
The device series 3000 and 4000 of Pepperl+Fuchs meets the ATEX requirements of Standards EN 50014 and EN 50016 for Ex Zones 1 and 2.
The devices consist of a control unit, a valve and additional accessories.
